Yeah, but this "style" is not the optimal one and we should
simplify/clean up and fix this thing.

Swapping the order of your statements here:

Yes, but: distro kernels end up enabling all those options anyway and
distro kernels are 90-ish% of the setups. Which means, this will get
enabled anyway and this additional Kconfig symbol is simply going to be
one automatic reply "Yes".

So let's build it in by default and if someone complains about it, we
can always carve it out. But right now I don't see the need for the
unnecessary separation...

Thx.
